In order to induce and sustain glucose levels consistently in the 55-65mg/dL range and ketones levels consistently in the 4-7mMol/L range, day in and day out, month in and month out, one must forensically control grams of Fat, grams of Protein and grams of Carbohydrate, on a per meal basis.

So, for example, should one’s Basal Metabolic Rate be 1500cal (as adjudicated by an InBody scan), and that is used a point of departure for pegging daily calories, provided that Skeletal Muscle Mass is within the 100th percentile and no additional energy deficit is created by resistance training or other exercise, and one ingests five, 300 calorie meals per day, spaced three hours apart, each meal at a 2:1 ketogenic ratio, this would mean each individual meal would be comprised of 27 grams of Fat and 14 grams of Protein + Carbohydrate.

Hence, where one happens to source the grams of Fat, Protein and Carbohydrate, is entirely elective- however, what is consequential to resulting glucose and ketone measurements, is that in fact, each meal, actually, measurably, consists of 27 grams of Fat and 14 grams of Protein + Carbohydrate, as validated by a gram food scale.

Analysis of daily/weekly averages and standard deviations of twice daily measurements of glucose and ketones, would instruct further modification to the nutritional regimen.

With these caveats in mind, one can observe that the learning curve is steep, but nevertheless within the compass of human capability. In other words, no one has to have a PhD to do the Press/Pulse protocol, simply an interest and inclination.
